Not bad. Definitely looks better with the new body. I think that the gauntlets and belt could be improved by picking out all of the details with paint.

Looks good. And so does your Iron Fist.

Very well done. Looks just as he should.

Another great addition to your lineup! And I agree that switching the harness was the right call.

Thanks everyone. Always appreciate the kind words. Oh and just in case anyone was wondering. I did color his neck to match the head.

Thanks again

Well, there is so little to be seen of the neck that I didn't think of it, but very nice touch. Thorough professionalism!

Total badass! Nicely done

Thanks buddy. That was the only comment that was left for me from OSW. (Paint the body's neck.)

Thanks my friend.

Worked out well, and the fist guy has more use for the yellow harness I think.

And is that Dexter wearing Painkiller Jane's glasses?

Totally agree about the harness . Oh is not a Dexter head sculpt but is Painkiller Jane glasses. The figure is suppose to be Matt Murdock aka Dare Devil. AFM Style .

Seriously... no one could see anything positive to say... pretty narrow view of focus for such a cool looking figure.

That is why I come here to share the love.

Thanks again to all of you my friends.

Looks pretty good! Though I know little of Luke Cage, I've always seen him looking best in a yellow short-sleeved top of some kind. I know the M36B is the only naturally black-skinned TBLeague body so far, but it is too lean for his bulky physique, I believe. Coloring the entire arms and showing off his iconic guns would look really good! But I totally understand if you don't want to and would like to reuse the body for different purposes, because these things are expensive!

EDIT: I learned a bit of a trick for removing oil pastel coloring in case you don't want a permanent coloring - basically involves a rigorous scrubbing of a much lighter color (ex. white/tan) and also facial cleansing wipes. Just alternate between them and it will eventually start to clear, though I have admittedly only experimented with removing dark blue and jet black so far.

Oh interesting. I have noticed that pale colours don't really stick to the silicone as well. I've also tried using a paler colour on top of the other colours, but this seem to 'ruin' the body in some way...like it can remove the outer layer of the silicone along with the colour, so I don't dare try it or scrub it too hard. Maybe I've just had some bad luck, but I would still be careful about using this method to remove the oil pastels.

Actually Luke has fad a few different looks. Mine is just another addition utilizing what I had on hand. I went with the long sleeves to cover up is non-matching arm color. I did make the neck match by using s brown Sharpie marker. It works fine for a small area like the neck, but I'm not brave enough to try it on a larger area
like his arms.

I did have him wearing clothes like you mentioned but I wanted a better articulated figure. So I went with the TbL M35 body. Here's a pic of the less articulated body that I ashed together. I just sold it on ebay and got $99 for it. I was very happy with that.
